The old man jumped down from the window and entered the house with a wine bottle in his hand.
"Since senior brother can't sleep, why don't we have a drink together?" the old man said with a smile.
The master glanced at the old man and sat back on the couch.
The old man sat down with the master, picked up two glasses, and filled them with wine. The old man looked at the master, took a sip first, and then said to the master: "Brother, you seem to have something on your mind."
After the master looked at the old man, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said to the old man: "So many things happened in Xuanmen Villa, all because of me. Do you think I can still sleep at this time?"
The old man could see that the master's eyes were full of self-blame, but now that things had happened, there was no use in blaming himself. It was better to cooperate with Xi'er and see if there was anything we could do to help.
The old man curled his lips and said, "Okay, senior brother, since when did you become so sentimental? You might as well think about how to help Xi'er while you have this time. What's the use of blaming yourself here?"
How could Master not know that blaming yourself is useless? Isn’t it because he can’t help?
"You are right. I also know that I shouldn't blame myself at this time. However, so many things have happened in Xuanmen Villa, and we have not been able to help at all. Xi'er is always worried that we will be poisoned, and even
The great elder was also taken to the bamboo house." Master murmured.
"Now that Xi'er's poison has been cured, let's take the eldest elder to our senior brother's yard. By the way, Xi'er's poison has been cured, and the elder is now suffering from backlash. Tomorrow, let's ask Xi'er if there is anything wrong
Plan." The old man said.
"Until the poison of Wu Zun and Ah Chen is cured, Xi'er will not touch Elder Zheng." said the master.
"Brother, why did the elder want Xi'er's life so much? Fortunately, Xi'er was lucky, otherwise..." The old man did not dare to think about it anymore, because it would be too cruel to think about it anymore.
"Xi'er is now the owner of Yaowang Valley. If Elder Zheng wants to get Yaowang Valley, he must attack Xi'er first. When I asked Xi'er to bring Elder Zheng back, I was just a little curious about how he has lived for so many years.
.Who knew he actually had so many secrets?" the master said simply.
"Brother, I don't think you need to blame yourself. It's the ancestors who should blame themselves." The old man curled his lips and said.
The master obviously didn't understand why the old man suddenly said this. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man, waiting for the old man to continue.
The old man said: "Why did the ancestors leave the wooden box in the tomb for no reason? If the wooden box was not left, even if the elder left Yaowang Valley alive, he would not be able to obtain the forbidden technique in the wooden box. Of course, it would be even more unfair.
Maybe he is still alive today. So, the incident happened just because the ancestor seemed fine and left the wooden box in the tomb. Don't you think it is the ancestor who should blame himself?" The old man said so plausibly that the master could not refute.
.
"To think that the ancestors did not expect that the person kowtowing to him was actually a sinister and cunning person. Moreover, no one thought that the ancestors of Yaowang Valley and Fengtian Sect were exchanged. There must be another person who is not willing to stay here.
Only in the Central Plains would wooden boxes be left in the tombs of ancestors." The master said simply.
"The ancestor was an ambitious man, otherwise he would not have left the wooden box. However, he missed one thing. That is, the person who got the wooden box was a treacherous villain. So, those forbidden arts and
If anything, it would be great to stay in Fengtian Sect, why is it so complicated?" the old man murmured.
"How could it be such a coincidence? The cave collapsed, and the elder just ran out, and ran along the hole into the tomb. How could there be such a coincidence?" The old man frowned slightly and said in confusion.
The master shook his head. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Junior brother, the elder is probably not telling the truth. The great elder and the elder are both in the cave in the back mountain, which is still some distance away from the ancestor's tomb. Think about it carefully. Even if the cave collapses and exposes the underground hole, how can it lead directly to the tomb of the ancestor?
What?" The master thought for a while and said.
Master has been thinking about what the elder said over and over in the past few days, and he always feels that something is not right.
"You mean that the elder didn't go directly from the cave to the tomb? Did he run out of the cave and then go to the tomb of his ancestors?" The old man asked in surprise.
"The collapse of the cave was probably not an accident, but man-made. Maybe the cave could not lead to the cave at all, it was near the back mountain. The elder did not advance to the tomb, but went outside first, killed a person and sent him back to the cave.
Then we went to the tomb and took away the wooden box." Master analyzed.
"Brother, I understand. What you mean is that he actually knew the secrets in the ancestor's tomb long before their plan failed. I believe that even if their plan succeeded, the great elder would probably be in trouble.
In the hands of Elder Zheng. After the incident, Elder Zheng was imprisoned in the cave by us. He never had the chance to go to the tomb to take away the things. Therefore, he spent the past few years planning how to escape from the cave. Just then
After the great elder faked his death, the main elder still thought of a way to leave the cave." The old man suddenly understood after hearing the master's words.
"Well, that's right. Even if they successfully return to the tribe, the great elder will be plotted by the elder. The ambition of the elder did not start after getting the wooden box. It should be said that he was full of desire before that."
continued.
"Senior brother, do we need to tell Xi'er and the others about this as soon as possible so that they can be prepared? I always feel that there is something wrong with this elder." After drinking the wine in the cup, the old man said to the senior master.
"Well, it's too late. Let's analyze this matter to them tomorrow. What about you? You came to me with it at such a late hour. Do you think you can't sleep?" Master asked murmured.
"Ahem, I was just lying on the bed, feeling a little uneasy. I always felt that the righteous elders would not be so easily affected by backlash. After the backlash, would there be any repercussions? So, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep. I thought about it.
What is Senior Brother doing? Who knows, Senior Brother can't sleep just like me." The old man shrugged and said.
"I've drank wine and talked. Is it time to go back to sleep?" Master asked.
"You are driving me away." The old man curled his lips, drank the rest of the wine, and left the master's house.
The master looked at the wine in the cup, drank it in one gulp, and then went back to sleep.
Early the next morning, the master and the old man were worried that they would not meet Murong Xi, so after having breakfast, they went to the bamboo house.
Feng Mingye and Murong Xi were very surprised when they heard that their master had arrived early in the morning. After inviting the master and the old man into the backyard, Murong Xi asked: "Master, have you eaten, old man?"
"After eating, I was afraid that you would undo Bailichen's poison early in the morning, so I hurriedly came over with my junior brother." The master said anxiously.
"What makes you so anxious? Come in quickly and let's talk." Murong Xi said to the master and the old man.
The master nodded, and the two of them entered the room. Feng Mingye asked someone to serve tea.
The master took a sip of tea and said, "I have been thinking about something these past few nights. After discussing it with my junior brother last night, I thought I should tell you about it."
Murong Xi knew that his master must be in an emergency, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry. So, he said, "Master, please tell me slowly that you are not in a hurry. The time to remove Baili Chen's poison will be in the afternoon."
After the master heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter could not be explained in one sentence or two. The master took another sip of tea and then said: "Xier, this matter is about the elder. The elder
I told you that because the cave collapsed, he saw a hole in the ground by chance and got into it, and then ran along the cave to the tomb of his ancestors, right?"
Murong Xi nodded and replied: "Yes, Elder Zheng told us so. Isn't it like this?"
The master nodded and said, "When he mentioned the past events of that period, he always said the same thing. Xi'er, haven't you ever suspected that what happened to the elder Zheng was too coincidental?"
"At that time, I just thought that the elder Zheng had accumulated so much virtue in his previous life that he could be so lucky. After the cave collapsed, he ran out along the hole. Moreover, not only was he alive, but he also got something left by his ancestors. Master, let me say a disrespectful word,
At that time, after I heard the experience of Elder Zheng, I just felt that the ancestors were doing something unnecessary and taking advantage of this treacherous villain. However, I just felt strange, how could a person like Elder Zheng think of kowtowing to the ancestors at that time?" Murong Xi
He said doubtfully.
Murong Xi thought that if the elder Zheng was able to run out of the cave and didn't leave Yaowang Valley as soon as possible, how could he be so familiar with the tomb and suddenly feel that his ancestors were blessing him?
"You are right. These experiences of Elder Zheng are not a coincidence. I have been thinking about this matter in the past few days. I am afraid that he knew the secret of the tomb before implementing the plan. I guess, even if it is their
If the plan is successful and he can return to the tribe, the chief elder will not miss this opportunity. It can also be said that at that time, the chief elder began to plot against the great elder. Once their plan succeeds, how can the chief elder be willing to succumb to the great elder?
What?" The master briefly told Murong Xi what he and the old man had analyzed last night.
"What you mean is that if the plan succeeds, the elders will get the wooden box before returning to the tribe. At that time, they will wait to return to the tribe to find the secrets left in the box. Unfortunately, their plan failed and I was
He was imprisoned in a cave. Presumably the elder Zheng was glad that he was not so impatient at that time. If he had got the wooden box in advance, we would definitely have discovered it. The collapse of the cave was probably his plan, and after escaping from the cave, he killed
One person changed his clothes and sent them back to the cave. After doing all this, he took advantage of the chaos to visit the ancestral grave, entered the ancestor's tomb, and took away the wooden box." Murong Xi analyzed.
"Yes, that's what I mean. We have all entered the tomb of our ancestors and found no hole at all. Elder Zheng said that he had blocked the entrance of the hole, but I didn't believe what he said at all. There was no trace in the tomb at all.
The traces indicate that it can lead to the cave, so I felt something was wrong." The master said openly.
"If you say so, it would be even more strange. Elder Zheng did not get the wooden box by chance, but he knew the secret early on. But how did he know it?" Murong Xi couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
"The secret is in Yaowang Valley. At that time, Elder Zheng had never left Yaowang Valley. Wait...did he find the secret somewhere?" Elder Zheng paused and seemed to remember something.
"Master, did you remember something?" Murong Xi asked.
